Just a little note to let everyone know that I have added some new photos. Eventually I will sort and label as many as I can, but for now they are just in one big album. Newest additions are from the Shuffle Day and Pulled Pork luncheon. I will be back in Canada for a couple of weeks, but if you want to drop off pics to me when I get back (Lot 340) I can post them on the site. If you have them on a disc or a photo card it only takes a few minutes for me to download them to my PC and I will add them from there. Thanks for all the contributions so far. Hopefully we will get some good shots from Mardi Gras, Can AM, Ft DeSoto, Thurs night music and even Bingo!
As Kirby says....keep having fun at Avalon!

Summer in Winter....I love it!!
Hello friends. Hope you are somewhere in the sunny south enjoying the winter. The weather has been fantastic the last couple of weeks and it looks like there are more beach days in the forecast. I will be heading home for a couple of weeks and then returning for the last Hurrah from March 13th to mid April. It has been a short winter for me but my granddaughter is getting better and that's what counts.
I am in the process of adding pictures to the blog. I have had to set up a new account with "Photobucket" in order to add and edit photos. The new account is directly linked to the blog. There are some great shots in there from breakfast, the dances and the cruise to name a few. I will organize them and put some names on in my spare time (Hahaha!) You can still find the old photos from Avalon on the Photobucket site under AvalonRV but I had to create a new account due to passwords etc. to add the photos from this year. The Vanovers have been generous in sending me a great selection of photos to work with. The pics should give us a few good chuckles and lots of great memories. When you click on the picture link (palm trees beach scene)on the right hand side of the blog a page will pop up with a purple palm tree background and a lot of little pictures. You will see above the pictures in VERY small print: View all...view slideshow etc. I suggest you click on View slideshow and work through the pics from there. Enjoy!
Thanks again to Pat and Ron Vanover. You guys are a couple of the nicest boys and girls I have ever met!

It's beginning to look a lot like winter ---YUKKKKK!
Well here we are in the great white (and I do mean white!) north recovering from yet another snow storm. You don't know how badly I wish I was at Avalon. But, duty calls and when your kids need you it's impossible to enjoy yourself on a vacation. It is good to see our granddaughter improving each day. There have been ups and downs and relapses along the way, but we are grateful for the progress she has made and we are getting ready to celebrate her return to school (at least part-time) next week. We have also been able to get in some extra hugs and kisses from the rest of our grandchildren so that is a great bonus.
I am hearing from the folks in residence at Avalon that they have been enjoying some fairly nice weather. The "cruisers" have returned and all activities are in full swing. I bet there will be a few "Super Bowl" parties this weekend....ahhh, the good life!
With Valentine's day coming up, I thought I should pass on this information from Marv Harrison:
A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates: You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value of the products increase as the shopper ascends the flights. The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building! So, a woman goes shopping for a new husband. On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs. She is intrigued, but continues to the second floor, where the sign reads: Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids. 'That's nice,' she thinks, 'but I want more.' So she continues upward. The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking. 'Wow,' she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going. She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help With Housework. 'Oh, mercy me!' she exclaims, 'I can hardly stand it!' Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads: Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help with Housework, and Have a Strong Romantic Streak. She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor, where the sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. PLEASE NOTE: To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a New Wives store just across the street. The first floor has wives that love sex. The second floor has wives that love sex and have money and like beer. The third, fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
